Master Qingyang has long known about the chance encounter between Zhou Yang and "Master Xuanji" Lu Xuanji in the Kunxu Realm.
When he heard this from Lu Xuanji, he was also shocked, and like Lu Xuanji, he attributed it to a fate destined by God.
At this time, when he heard Zhou Yang asking him for help, Master Qingyang immediately hesitated.
It stands to reason that since Zhou Yang came to fulfill his contract and it was reasonable and reasonable, he had no need to delay and conceal it any longer.
But that matter is really of great importance. If the news leaks out in advance, it will cause irreparable damage to their sect's plan that has been planned for many years.
Therefore, he finally shook his head and said: "My dear friend, forgive me. It's not that the old Taoist can't trust me, but this matter is of great importance. The less people know about it until it is finally implemented, the safer it will be."
Hearing this, Zhou Yang said in his heart that he was not disappointed, but that would be a lie.
He knew that the things Master Qingyang and Lu Xuanji wanted him to help with would definitely not be easy, and would also be very dangerous.
If he could know what was going on in advance, he could make some relevant preparations in advance.
You must know that when he came out this time, he not only took away hundreds of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones stored in the Zhou family's treasury, but also brought many unused trophies with him, intending to sell them in Xianyang City and buy some that were useful to him.
things.
He couldn't hide the disappointment on his face and whispered: "The junior understands the difficulty of the senior, but can the senior give some advice to the junior on what preparations should be made in advance?"
When Master Qingyang heard what he said, his face relaxed. He waved his hands with a smile and said: "This is not necessary. Our Xuanyang Immortal Sect has already prepared the relevant preparations and things that will be used. When the time comes, little friend
As long as people arrive, it’ll be fine.”
His words not only did not comfort Zhou Yang, but made Zhou Yang feel even heavier.
Although Qingyang Zhenren and Lu Xuanji both treated him well, Zhou Yang knew that the premise of all this was that he had something that the other party could take advantage of.
Normally, if you just want to use his hand to accomplish something, you can just lure him with benefits.
For example, he needs spiritual objects such as "Jade Liquid Golden Pill" and "Purple Heart Chalcedony", as well as some spiritual objects that are of great help to improve his cultivation.
But Qingyang Zhenren and Lu Xuanji both chose a path that seemed more difficult and continued to give him favors.
There are people in this world who show kindness without repaying it, but these two people are definitely not among them.
So for Zhou Yang, the more the two of them did this, the more scared and worried they made him feel.
He couldn't help but think of a word - dead soldier
In his previous life, the most famous figure among the dead soldiers was Jing Ke.
Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin is something that all scholars in his previous life are familiar with.
The reason why Jing Ke took a huge risk and accepted Prince Dan's commission to assassinate the King of Qin was because he was soft-spoken and short-handed. He had received too many favors from Prince Pill and could not repay them, so he could only choose to repay with his own life.
.
Zhou Yang has been repeatedly beholden to Master Qingyang and Lu Xuanji, but up to now he has not repaid him at all.
And with his strength and the status of Master Qingyang and Lu Xuanji, even if he wanted to take the initiative to repay something, he would never be able to repay them.
He is an upright person, a compassionate and righteous person.
This means that he cannot do such ungrateful things.
So in the current situation, even if Qingyang Zhenren and Lu Xuanji, two people who were very kind to him, asked him to do what Jing Ke did to assassinate the King of Qin, Zhou Yang asked himself, could he refuse?
The answer is no!
Not to mention the difficulty in his conscience, even Lu Xuanji and Qingyang Zhenren, two Nascent Soul stage monks, would not spare his life after he did something ungrateful.
He couldn't even run away, because he could run away from the monk, but he couldn't run away from the temple.
Master Qingyang knows his origins, and Lu Xuanji is a ninth-level "half-step true immortal" in the Nascent Soul stage. If these two people really want to deal with him, it may not be useful for him to escape to other immortal realms.
The fear and worry on Zhou Yang's face was not hidden. Master Qingyang saw it, but he could only pretend that he didn't see it.
In fact, what they wanted Zhou Yang to do was a narrow escape for Zhou Yang, a mere Golden Core monk.
This point means that no matter how much he comforts Zhou Yang now, when Zhou Yang knows the truth of the matter, he will still be worried.
But he was a kind elder after all. When he saw Zhou Yang like this, he sighed in his heart and couldn't help but said: "Although you don't need to prepare anything, if you have anything you want the old man to help with, you can just say it clearly."
."
Zhou Yang finally felt a little better after hearing what he said.
"Senior, it is clear to me that I, the junior, know that I have received a lot of favors from my senior, and I should not ask for anything more."
"But this time this junior came to Liuyunzhou to cultivate the immortal world, he not only came here by himself, but also brought his Taoist companions and several juniors with him. And one of my disciples is about to open up the Zi Mansion, so this junior is bold enough to ask seniors to help him get a
Purchase a quota and purchase a [Purple Heart Chalcedony] from your sect to help."
Zhou Yang opened and closed his mouth and immediately spoke out his request.
Since Master Qingyang still refuses to say what he wants him to do for help, if he wants to ask for a "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" for Taoist companion Xiao Ying, now is not the time to ask.
He planned to wait until Master Qingyang confessed everything to him before mentioning this matter.
In this way, if he really dies unfortunately, even if it is used as his pension, I think Master Qingyang will not be stingy with a portion of the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir".
"This matter is simple. You go to Xuanyang Pavilion with the old Taoist's handwriting, and they will naturally hand over the things to you, and I also told them inside to arrange a good cave for you to stay temporarily."
As Master Qingyang spoke, he waved his hand and handed Zhou Yang a jade slip with his words recorded on it.
After Zhou Yang put away the jade slips, he said again: "The great elder is not in the sect now. You'd better not leave Xianyang City in the next few years. When the great elder comes back, the matter will almost begin."
."
"Junior understands. Please rest assured, senior. I will wait in Xianyang City for my senior to call me."
Zhou Yang bowed his hand and agreed on the spot.
Originally, he should have said goodbye and left at this time, even Master Qingyang thought so.
But he didn't move. Instead, he stood there with a hesitant look on his face, as if he was having trouble making a decision.
This aroused the curiosity of Qingyang Zhenren.
"What's wrong? It looks like you have something difficult to decide?"
He looked at Zhou Yang with a surprised look on his face and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Senior Mingjian, this junior comes to see senior. In addition to fulfilling the original agreement, I also have something important to inform senior Xuanji."
"It's just that senior has just said that Master Xuanji is not in the noble family, and this matter is really important and cannot be delayed. I don't know whether I should tell senior first!"
Zhou Yang looked at Master Qingyang hesitantly, and the words in his mouth made his curiosity even more intense.
He immediately rolled up his sleeves and said: "If you have something, it's okay to say it. Even if the old Taoist can't solve it, I will help you tell Senior Brother Lu so that there won't be any delay."
"Since senior has said this, junior has nothing to worry about."
Zhou Yang nodded with a look of relief, and then told him about the space crack he discovered in the "Death Sand Sea".
After he finished speaking, as soon as his hand was destroyed, he took out the remains of the demonized "sandworm" and the demon pill that he had killed earlier.
"Senior, please look, this is the remains of the [Sandworm] monster beast that was eroded and mutated by the demonic energy."
"If this junior hadn't sacrificed the [Xuanyang Purple Sky Divine Thunder] jade talisman given by Senior Master Xuanji at that time, I'm afraid it would have been the junior who died!"
Master Qingyang didn't say anything. He was already stunned by the shocking news coming out of Zhou Yang's mouth.
Zhou Yang may not know what the big thing they are going to do is, but he knows it very well in his heart.
But now, before they did that, a space crack appeared in a place like the boundless sea of sand that connected with the demon world, which made him feel heavy.
As for whether what Zhou Yang said is true or false, there is no need to doubt this. The corpse of the demonized "sandworm" on the ground is the best proof.
Master Qingyang has also been to the Immortal Realm of the Boundless Sand Sea, and he naturally has heard about the unique fifth-level monster "sandworm" in the Boundless Sand Sea.
What's more, there is no benefit at all for Zhou Yang to deceive him.
"Are you sure that only demonic energy escapes from that space crack, and no monsters from the demon world cross over?"
He asked with his eyes fixed on Zhou Yang, his eyes full of nervousness.
A space crack and a space passage that allows creatures from the demon world to pass through to the "Spirit World" are two completely different concepts.
In the former case, although there is a risk of demonic creatures coming to the "Linghuan Realm", it is basically impossible to reach the "Linghuan Realm" through the space cracks.
Monsters that can easily do this will find it difficult to descend into a world like the "Linghuan Realm" where the upper limit of the world is lower because their cultivation level is too high.
Monsters with low levels of cultivation do not have the ability to survive inside space cracks.
But if it is a space passage that allows creatures from the demon world to easily pass through and reach the "Spirit World", then the harm will be great!
If one thing goes wrong, the entire "Linghuan Realm" may be captured by countless monsters from the Demon Realm!
For such a big event, even a Nascent Soul stage monk like Master Qingyang can't help but be nervous, and can't help but change his face.
"This junior doesn't dare to guarantee it. I can only say that when I saw the crack in space, I didn't notice any monsters coming, and there were no particularly powerful monsters guarding the area."
Zhou Yang shook his head, but did not finish his words.
He actually knew in his heart that it was just a crack in space, otherwise he would not have returned alive to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality.
But he knew better that for every word he said now, he would be held accountable for anything that happened in the future, so naturally he did not dare to say it all and had to leave a way out for himself.
"Hey! You should have come here earlier to inform us of the news, just in case..."
Master Qingyang let out a long sigh, and he was actually quite angry that Zhou Yang had delayed coming to tell him this for several years.
This is Zhou Yang. If it were a disciple of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect who dared to delay and not retaliate on such a major matter, he would probably have him thrown into the "Demon Sealing Cave" on the spot.
However, Zhou Yang was not a disciple of their Xuanyang Immortal Sect, and they had to rely on Zhou Yang's help for such a big thing. Even if they were angry at this time, they couldn't take it out on Zhou Yang.
In the end, he could only shake his head and said: "Forget it, the old Taoist knows about this matter, and the old Taoist will inform Senior Brother Lu immediately, so just leave it alone and wait for our call with peace of mind!"
As the saying goes, even if the sky falls, there will be tall people who can hold it up.
In the world of immortal cultivation, Xuanyang Immortal Sect is undoubtedly the tallest one.
Even if the space cracks connected to the demon world are not on their territory, they are definitely responsible for dealing with them.
And for Qingyang Zhenren, who knows the inside story, anything related to the demon world at this time is a sensitive matter.
What if, while they were doing that, a powerful person from the demon world came to the "Linghuan Realm", the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, after Zhou Yang obeyed the order and said goodbye, he immediately used a secret method to notify Lu Xuanji, the great elder of the Xuanyang Immortal Sect who was outside, and informed him of the news reported by Zhou Yang.
"Junior Brother's message has been received. I am going to the scene personally to check the situation for my brother. You must keep an eye on that kid and don't spoil the big thing!"
In Qingyang Cave, Master Qingyang looked at the words that appeared on the bronze mirror in his hand and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Lu Xuanji is willing to go to the boundless sand sea to check the situation of the space crack in person, there is no problem in this matter for the time being. Next, he only needs to wait for Lu Xuanji to complete the preparations, and then he can take Zhou Yang to set off.
.
On the other side, after Zhou Yang returned to Xianyang City from Xuanyang Immortal Sect, he immediately went to Xuanyang Pavilion. He found the chief shopkeeper of Xuanyang Pavilion and showed him the handwriting of Qingyang Master, and then paid 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
, got a copy of "Purple Heart Chalcedony", and also received a fifth-level cave with a quiet environment in the city as a residence for free.
After he got the things, he asked his apprentice Lu Xuewei to enter his cave to retreat.
But he himself was wandering around the major shops in Xianyang City, selling various treasures in his hands.
He has a lot of unused fifth-level magic weapons in his hands. He doesn't like these things, and no one in the Zhou family can refine and use these magic weapons except him. It's better to sell them and exchange them for spiritual stones.
Of course, even if he doesn't like some truly precious magic weapons, he won't exchange them for spiritual stones. He will only keep them in his hands for future use.
Even so, after he sold all the magic weapons and some sundries in his hands, the number of spiritual stones he owned exceeded the three million spiritual stone mark, not counting the high-grade spiritual stones he owned!
With millions of spiritual stones in his hand, Zhou Yang would certainly not let them lie in his storage ring to eat ashes.
Although Master Qingyang said that everything was ready and there was no need for him to make any more preparations, how could he not make any preparations at all.
After spending a total of 1.5 million low-grade spiritual stones, Zhou Yang purchased the treasure "Yuqing Immortal Urn" from the "Yuqing Immortal Pavilion" opened by the Yuqing Taoist Sect in Xianyang City.
"Yuqing Immortal Urn" is a secret spiritual talisman unique to the Yuqing Taoist Sect, which can only be produced by Yuqing Taoist monks at the Yuanying stage.
After each monk of the Yuqing Dao Sect is promoted to the Golden Elixir stage, he will be given a "Yuqing Immortal Urn" by the Yuqing Stage monks of the sect as a life-saving thing.
However, the function of this "Jade Purple Immortal Urn" is the same as the life-saving item "Yimu Life-Substitute" that Zhou Yang obtained in Kunxu Realm. It can resolve a fatal attack at a critical moment.
One and a half million low-grade spiritual stones to buy a chance to survive is naturally worth it in Zhou Yang's eyes.
If the spiritual stone is gone, you can earn more, but if your life is gone, then everything is really over!
If it weren't for the fact that the "Yu Qing Immortal Pavilion" in Xianyang City had only this "Yu Qing Immortal Urn" for sale as the store's treasure, he would never be stingy with the 1.5 million low-grade spiritual stones left on his body and buy another one.
One piece.
Master Qingyang is naturally aware of Zhou Yang's actions in Xianyang City, but as long as Zhou Yang does not leave Xianyang City, he will naturally pretend that he does not know anything and will not interfere with anything.
From the bottom of their hearts, they didn't want Zhou Yang to die, but the matter was indeed extremely dangerous. If anything went wrong, a Golden Core monk like Zhou Yang would almost certainly die.
Zhou Yang knew it well and had no intention of leaving Xianyang City.
After purchasing the "Jade Purple Immortal Urn", he and his Taoist companion Xiao Ying started touring Xianyang City.
As for Zhou Tongxuan and the other three people he brought to Xianyang City, they were still reading all kinds of information about the Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyun Continent in the cave to prepare for their future travels to the Immortal Cultivation World.
Half a year later, Lu Xuewei, who was in seclusion, came out of seclusion, successfully opened up the Zifu and was promoted to become a monk in the Zifu period.
Lu Xuewei successfully opened up the Zifu, which is a great joy.
Although he was unable to hold a Zifu celebration for him because he was in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent, Zhou Yang also took him to the most luxurious restaurant in Xianyang City for a big meal to congratulate him.
And as a reward for this apprentice's success in opening the Zifu, Zhou Yang gave her all the "Ice Crystal Snow Lotus" lotus seeds that he had obtained in Kunxu Realm. After she stabilized her cultivation, she could refine these lotus seeds to quickly improve her cultivation.
for.
According to Zhou Yang's estimation, if all eighteen lotus seeds are refined, it will not be a problem for Inland Xuewei's cultivation to reach the third level of Zifu in ten years.
The decades it lost during the foundation building period will be completely made up for.
In addition to the "Ice Crystal Snow Lotus" lotus seeds, Zhou Yang also handed over to Lu Xuewei several fourth-level ice-attributed magic weapons and a large number of ice-attributed spiritual objects obtained by killing the Snow Toad Palace monk Beigong Baifeng, allowing her to dispose of them at her own discretion.
Only that drop of "cold jade essence" was left by him in the family secret vault on Lingxi Peak.
He had told Zhou Guangxiang that if he did not go back, he would not be able to take out the things and give them to her until Lu Xuewei reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion.
As for his true purpose of coming to Liuyunzhou to cultivate immortality, only Zhou Guangxiang knows about it now, not even his Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying and Lu Xuewei always thought that he brought them to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the immortal world in order to help them obtain treasures to break through the realm.
And he didn't intend to reveal the true situation to the two girls before the matter was settled.
He had already made plans. If he returned safely, he could naturally pretend that nothing happened.
If he unfortunately dies, Master Qingyang, who is entrusted by him, will naturally give his relics and suicide note to Xiao Ying and tell him the truth.
In short, based on his understanding of Xiao Ying, if he told her about this matter in advance, it would definitely cause trouble.
And he has fallen into it too deep, and it is impossible to pick it out easily!
Time flies, and soon the ten-year agreement Zhou Yang made with Lu Xuanji has arrived.
On this day, after receiving the summons from Master Qingyang, his expression changed for a while, and with a final sigh, he called his Taoist companion Xiao Ying and his disciple Lu Xuewei into the quiet room.
"Ying'er, Xuewei, I just received a message from senior Qingyang Zhenren that there are monsters causing trouble in the [Demon Sealing Cave] in Xuanyang Immortal Sect, and I need my help to suppress it for a while."
"You also know that Senior Qingyang has been very kind to me, so I can't help but help him with this!"
In the quiet room, Zhou Yang looked at the Taoist monk and apprentice who were suddenly called here by him, and looked at them with a serious face and told them the reason.
He had made up this excuse a long time ago, and when he said it at this time, it did not make Xiao Ying suspicious at all.
She looked at Zhou Yang with a pair of beautiful eyes, a look of worry flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it, and whispered softly: "Since it is Senior Qingyang who has personally sent the message, I am afraid that the matter will not be minor, husband, even if you have control
You must also be careful when using magical powers to restrain monsters, and protect yourself first."
When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately said confidently: "Don't worry, even if there are some powerful monsters hidden in the [Demon Sealing Cave], they will definitely not reach the Nascent Soul stage. With my husband's methods, even if they are really not hostile, they will definitely not be alive."
Dangerous."
After saying that, he looked at his silent apprentice Lu Xuewei and said: "During the time when my master is away, Xuewei, please accompany your master's wife well. When there is news about my master, it will not be too late for you to go out to travel to the world of immortality!"
"
"Disciple obeys the order and will definitely accompany Master's wife well. Master, just feel free to go."
Lu Xuewei nodded and agreed immediately.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang turned his attention back to Xiao Ying and explained: "And Ying'er, if you are extremely bored during this period of time, you can also study the experience of forming pills that my husband left for you. This time, for
When I go to help Senior Qingyang, I will also mention the [Jade Liquid Golden Pill] to him by the way. I think he will be willing to help with this."
When Xiao Ying heard this, she looked at him with worried eyes and said, "As long as you, husband, can come back safely, it doesn't matter if I form my elixir later."
As the saying goes, husband and wife are connected. Although Zhou Yang's excuse was perfect, she seemed to have already sensed it and kept talking about Zhou Yang's safety.
Zhou Yang's face remained calm, but there was a pain in his heart, which was extremely uncomfortable.
For a moment, he really wanted to confess everything.
But as soon as this idea came up, he immediately dismissed it.
His face trembled, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "You are talking nonsense again, I am still waiting for you to form a pill quickly so that you can add more members to the main line of our Zhou family!
"
Sure enough, when she heard him say such words in front of her apprentice, Xiao Ying suddenly turned red. She stared at him with a blushing face and said: "Husband, you are bullying me, Xuewei is still here!"
Lu Xuewei on the side also blushed, lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
"Hahaha, I'm leaving. Please wait patiently for my good news."
Zhou Yang burst into laughter, laughed out of the cave, and flew directly to the Xuanyang Mountains.
